Watching the other party feign a sigh and try to play along, hoping to "spontaneously" forge a closer relationship, Dean couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
He could tell that the other man hadn't lied. This also gave Dean a slightly favorable impression of the young man before him.
So be it. If the other man was cooperative, he might as well lend a hand. Especially now that Cheston En, that big shot, was down and out, and Dean, being in the FBI, needed a new informant.
With this thought in mind, Dean changed his strategy and started chatting with Night Brilliance. As their exchange deepened, the atmosphere in the small room became considerably more relaxed.
Seeing that Detective Dean didn't seem as difficult to talk to as he had initially thought, Night Brilliance shifted the topic and brought up his request again, "Detective Dean, I'm not sure what your situation is, but if it's possible, perhaps we could cooperate."
